Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline
Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline
Epoxy Novolac
PRODUCT Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline is a high performance, flake filled epoxy novolac coating that is designed to
DESCRIPTION provide maximum resistance to 98% sulphuric acid.
INTENDED USES For use on structural steel exposed to chemical spillage, concrete floors and chemical trenches in
process areas, chemical pump pedestals and areas which may be exposed to repeated chemical
spillage or fumes.
Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline is employed in many applications in the chemical processing and mining
market sectors, where resistance to high concentrations of acid are required.
Theoretical Coverage 2 m²/litre at 500 microns d.f.t and stated volume solids
80 sq.ft/US gallon at 20 mils d.f.t and stated volume solids
Practical Coverage Allow appropriate loss factors. Coverage will vary according to
individual systems and the configuration of the surface to be coated;
consult the relevant Application Guidelines and specification for
further information.

SURFACE All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint application, all
PREPARATION steel surfaces should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000.
Steel Substrates
For immersion service or service in humid conditions or elevated temperatures, this product should be
applied to surfaces which have been prepared by abrasive blast cleaning to Sa3 (ISO 8501-1:2007),
SSPC SP5 or NACE #1. For dry environments, abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007),
SSPC SP10 or NACE #2 will be suitable. A surface profile of 75-100 microns (3-4 mils) is required.
Concrete Substrates
Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline is also suitable for application to concrete in certain conditions; please see
Product Application Guidelines for further information.
APPLICATION Mixing Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline must always be mixed and applied in accordance with
the detailed Application Guidelines for the subsequent system.
Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in
the proportions supplied. Once the unit has been mixed it must be used within
the working pot life specified.
(1) Agitate Base (Part A) with a power agitator.
(2) Combine entire contents of Curing Agent (Part B) with Base
(Part A) and mix thoroughly with power agitator.
Do not mix more material than can be applied within the recommended
pot life.
Brush Suitable - Touch up and Multiple coats may be required to achieve specified
small areas only film thickness.
Roller Suitable Multiple coats may be required to achieve specified
film thickness.
Thinner DO NOT THIN
Cleaner Ceilcote T-410 Solvent (or International GTA203)
Work Stoppages Do not allow material to remain in hoses, guns or spray equipment. Thoroughly
flush all equipment with Ceilcote T410 or International GTA203. Once units of
paint have been mixed they should not be resealed and it is advised that after
prolonged stoppages work recommences with freshly mixed units.
Once units have been mixed, work should continue until all mixed material has
been used.
Clean Up Clean all equipment immediately after use with T-410 Solvent. It is good
working practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of
the working day. Frequency of cleaning will depend upon amount sprayed,
temperature and elapsed time, including any delays.

PRODUCT The detailed Application Guidelines for the relevant Ceilcote system should always be consulted prior to
CHARACTERISTICS use.
The exact specification with regards to dry film thickness and number of coats will be provided by
International Protective Coatings prior to application start up.
Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above dew point. Ensure adequate
ventilation is provided throughout application and curing. Dehumidification (DH), air conditioning and/or
heating equipment may be necessary to control environmental conditions.
This product can be susceptible to amine blush; if present, wash with water and allow to dry before
overcoating.
When working outside or in direct sunlight, concrete "gassing" or "breathing" may occur when the surface
temperature is rising due to sunlight or increasing ambient temperature. This can cause bubbles or holes
in the applied floor, lining or coating. When this problem occurs it is necessary to shade the surface from
sunlight and/or apply the material in the cooler evening or at night so that initial cure can take place
without air escaping from the concrete. Consult International Protective Coatings for more detailed
recommendation.
Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline may be returned to service (for concentrated sulphuric acid immersion service)
after the following intervals;
20ºC (70ºF): 7 days
35ºC (90ºF): 3 days
However, for immersion service in sulphuric acid at concentrations of 90% or higher, Ceilcote 2000
Flakeline must be post-cured for 6-8 hours at 70ºC (158ºF). Some discolouration of the product may
occur. For exposure to 98% sulphuric acid, temperature must not exceed 40ºC (104ºF).
Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline is not intended to be used as a cosmetic finish and colour stability will not be
achievable.
Maximum continuous dry temperature resistance for Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline is 120°C (248°F).
Further application details may be found on the data sheets of the individual products mentioned.
Note: VOC values are typical and are provided for guidance purpose only. These may be subject to
variation depending on factors such as differences in colour and normal manufacturing tolerances.
Low molecular weight reactive additives, which will form part of the film during normal ambient cure
conditions, will also affect VOC values determined using EPA Method 24.
SYSTEMS Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline should be applied to correctly prepared substrates. However, it is suitable for
COMPATIBILITY application to the following primers:
Ceilcote 680M
Ceilcote 2000 Flakeline may also form a constituent part of other systems such as

SAFETY This product is intended for use only by professional applicators in industrial situations.
PRECAUTIONS All work involving the application and use of this product should be performed in compliance with all
relevant national Health, Safety and Environmental standards, regulations and legislation.
Proper ventilation must be provided during application and afterwards during drying (Refer to product
datasheets for typical drying times) to keep solvent concentrations within safe limits and prevent fires and
explosions. Forced extraction will be required in confined spaces. Ventilation and/or respiratory personal
protective equipment (airfed hoods or appropriate cartridge masks) must be provided during application
and drying. Take precautions to avoid skin and eye contact (overalls, gloves, goggles, masks, barrier
cream, etc).
Before use, obtain, read and then follow the advice given on the Material Safety Data Sheets (Parts A
and B if two-pack) and the Health and Safety section of the Coatings Applications Procedures for this
product.
In the event that welding or flame cutting is performed on metal coated with this product, dust and fumes
will be emitted which will require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and adequate local
exhaust ventilation.
The detailed safety measures are dependent on application methods and the work environment. If you do
not fully understand these warnings and instructions or if you cannot strictly comply with them, do not use
the product and consult International Protective Coatings.
